He said that today the college has 11 Post Graduate courses along with graduate courses. Our students clinch positions in the top ten slot of university examinations.

It is noteworthy that these students have already been given the Roll of Honour. On this occasion the college magazine Sutluj was also released.

A professor of the evening college Prof. Parminder Kumar was bestowed the award of Best Teacher. The Chief Guest Prof Parvinder Singh in his Convocation Address said that it is a matter of great honour to be present in an institution which has carried on the tradition of the famous Govt College Lahore, the legacy inherited after Partition. He informed the assembled gathering about the impending reforms in the system of examinations. This batch of graduate students is the first ever of the first cycle of semester system initiated by the PU in 2014-15.

He hoped that the students who were wearing these robes of Honour prove themselves worthy in their future endeavours and bring glory to their Alma mater. He enumerated the names of many glorious personalties who studied in this college and who went on to serve the nation and hoped that this batch of students also follow in their footsteps. There are nearly 800 universities in the country today. Employment of the youth and their skill development is their uppermost concern. Another serious concern is the mass exodus of Indian, mostly Punjabi students to foreign universities.

It does not behove us to desert the land for whom our Gurus and people like Bhagat Singh and other freedom fighters sacrificed their lives. People like Dr. APJ Kalam, Dr. Manmohan Singh never settled abroad. Though there is no harm in studying abroad but the country needs you. Recognise the spark in you. Making in India is only possible if you are inspired. The Chief Guest was felicitated and the function concluded with the singing of the National Anthem.
